    Imagine what hearns could have done to el veneno rubio, or ishida or monroe jr, or geale or macklin.... plain murder. And hearns didnt carry his power when he went up in weight.

    The truth is that gg spent his whole prime fighting tomatos. 3 decent fights
    jacobs (gg still doesnt believe that he won that fight, ofc, he would **** his own mother rather than rematch jacobs again, a lot of people think that it was a robbery), canelo (draw+defeat), derevyanchenko (blatant freaking robbery). The rest??? tomatos and more tomatos. Trying to compare gg with hearns is hilarious.

    Hearns and by quite a margin, punch power wise.

    GGG physically stronger though

    Hearns right hand more devastating.

    Jacobs son might have thought he won. Canelo groupies tend to act that way. Unbiased people can see correctly. Close but clear GGG.

    If Golovkin had hearns speed and reach, nobody would have went the distance with him.

    Brook did walk around at 190lbs, but weight bully Canelo is finally fighting guys his own size, everbody thinks he deserves a medal for finally doing that. Brook should have fighting at jr middleweight himself.

    Agreed! Hearns was a more skilled puncher than GGG too, which contributes to the power.

    Different types of power and punchers

    Tommy got more leverage, whip, snap, crackle and pop power

    GGG got Russian bear nuclear holocaust/Bruce Lee Asian chi-force thudding bludgeoning power

    Golovkin is the only person to make Canelos knees buckle.

    Brook is certainly bigger than Duran.
